The Fruit of Surgery

"You came to see me so late." Looking at the current time, it was probably nearly two o'clock in the morning. Shen Fei couldn't help but feel curious. Why did Kadok come to see him at this time? And from his appearance, he was carefully avoiding other people. Although it was just a rough look, Shen Fei also saw some magic related to reducing footsteps and silencing from Kadok.

"Ritsuka, and Mashu, interesting." Kadok didn't walk far and stopped directly at a corner. At the corner, you can see the virtual images of Ritsuka and Mashu waiting.

"Okay, Mashu, are you ready?" After Shen Fei came to the corner, Kadok immediately used barrier magic and silencing magic around.

"Yes, according to your request, I am the only one on duty in Chaldea now, and everyone else is resting. Now you can tell me why you did this." Mashu's voice was very light, and it seemed to be to avoid alarming others.

"Just in case, after waking up, I was allowed to check all the singularities and all the records of the Lostbelts that Chaldea experienced, and then about the Chaldean man, his true identity."

"That person will definitely not be Dr. Roman. Dr. Roman does not have that kind of power, and Dr. Roman has always stayed in Chaldea." Mashu immediately vetoed.

If you want to say who Mashu has the best relationship with in Chaldea, before Fujimaru Ritsuka came to Chaldea, it was undoubtedly Dr. Roman. It was Dr. Roman who had been taking care of her. Mashu likes to read books, and it is also because Dr. Roman gave them to Mashu to let Mashu know the outside world.

So although the appearance of the Chaldean man is the same as Dr. Roman, considering Dr. Roman's consistent personality, no one in Chaldea thinks that the other party is Dr. Roman. In the eyes of people who don't know his true identity, Roman is just an ordinary doctor who loves to eat strawberry cakes and watch online idols.

"I see. Let's put this issue aside for now. But before we discuss the real issue, make sure he is trustworthy." Kadok stared at Shen Fei while speaking. He originally just wanted to discuss something with Li Xiang and Mashu, but because of Li Xiang's insistence, he called Shen Fei over.

"Don't worry, no one is more trustworthy than her." Li Xiang immediately answered, and Mashu nodded in agreement.

"Well, do you remember what the Chaldeans said, that there are untrustworthy people among you, and the sense of disharmony mentioned in the archer's message in the Atlantic Lostbelt later." Since Mashu and Li Xiang said that there was absolutely no problem, Kadok did not pursue it, and then talked about the purpose of calling a few people here today.

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Li Xiang nodded immediately.

"Since you remember, you were also advised to keep it secret, why did you report the record casually? Hey, speaking of it, this is indeed like your style, otherwise I would not know." Kadok was still questioning, but the next moment he gave himself the answer.

After being warned by the archers in the Atlantic Lostbelt, normally, this secret would definitely be kept in mind, but Mashu and Ritsuka still mentioned it in the Lostbelt report at that time.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since you all remember this, have you ever thought about who it refers to?"

Faced with Kadoc's question, Mashu and Ritsuka fell silent at the same time. With their personalities, they naturally didn't want to believe that there were spies and undercovers among the Chaldean group who lived together day and night.

"Well, just as described in the report, this question." Mashu paused for a moment, and then continued: "I did think about this question, but I think it's too out of touch with reality."

Although Mashu and Ritsuka's personalities are simple, they are not the type of naive or foolish. Since they were warned, they naturally thought about it, but there are only so many people in Chaldea. No matter who they suspect is a spy or undercover, they find it difficult to accept in their hearts. The final idea is that the archer probably made a mistake.

"This is not something you, a mystery fan, would do. Have you given up thinking?"

"Hey, it seems that Kadok knows Mashu very well." Kadok's words made Shen Fei look at him. From this sentence, it can be known that this person must have noticed Mashu when he was in Chaldea, otherwise he would not know about this.

"No, on the contrary, I think I have thought about it as logically as possible, but even so, I still think that it is unlikely."

"Then tell me what you think." Kadok said without comment.

"Okay, the so-called unbelievable people, that is, the words that the Chaldean staff have defected, there is no evidence to prove it, and more importantly, there is no motive. In mystery novels, this is called whydunit." Mashu immediately said.

The so-called whydunit is the motive for the crime. The literal translation is why you do this. This is also a sentence that the second generation often says.

"I have heard people say before that magicians can cause all supernormal phenomena, so there is no point in investigating how to do it. However, why do you do this, whydunit, without exception, is meaningful." Kadok nodded immediately.

"This should be done by the Second World. It would be very interesting if he were to face off against Sherlock Holmes." Kadoc's words made Shen Fei think of the Second World again. This was also his famous saying for solving problems.

For a magician, it is too easy to tamper with things like secret rooms, alibis, traces left at the scene, etc.

"Yes, according to this logic, we can first exclude the staff currently in Chaldea. The earth has been blanked. I can't find any necessity to assist at this time. If it is just on the surface, we should have encountered setbacks a long time ago. There is no reason to assist blanking, nor is there any reason to help us resist blanking." Mashu continued.

"That's right, the crime has been established, and there is no point in helping an organization that wants to subvert the crime." Kadoc nodded and agreed with Mashu's statement. Just like Holmes compared the burning of human nature to the crime of killing all mankind, the freezing of human nature is the same.

"And this also applies to the servants, including me, Captain Nemo, Da Vinci, and Mr. Holmes. It will be difficult for us to deal with the earth falling into a blank state. The only ones left are Miss Sion, Mr. Kadoc, and the senior, that is, the master.

Mr. Kadoc, you were not in Chaldea before, so the alibi is valid, and the senior is even more impossible. If it is the senior, to put it more extremely, as long as the senior gives up, this case can be closed.

As for Miss Sion, from the standpoint of the Atlas Academy, she may have other considerations, and the possibility of giving rise to the motivation of betrayal exists, but if this is the case, when the alien god launched the pseudo black hole on the Wandering Sea, she only needed to not inform us, and Chaldea would be annihilated."

"It seems that she has really thought about it carefully." Mashu's analysis surprised Shen Fei very much. This is not based on emotion, thinking that there is no defection in Chaldea, but really thinking seriously. From her analysis, we can know that it is very reasonable, of course, this refers to normal circumstances.

"It seems that I am the most likely person in the end. They may have predicted that I would return to Chaldea." Kadok said.

"Yes, but in this case, if you are the criminal, Mr. Kadok, it would be too strange for you to discuss this with us now." Mashu said immediately.

The meeting tonight was because Kadok secretly gave Mashu a hint before, so Mashu avoided everyone else in Chaldea and came to this meeting.

"That's right, I declare in advance that I have not betrayed, no, I once betrayed the history of pan-humanity. It's a bit strange to say this, but I don't have the courage to betray when I am wearing a collar and may be killed at any time." Kadok explained his situation.

"I don't think Mr. Kadok will not dare to betray because of this, but I believe what you said is correct." Mashu doesn't think Kadok is such a coward.

"Before continuing, I still have to confirm that you are sure that he really has no problems." Kadok said that the target was once again on Shen Fei.

"Of course, even if I or the senior would betray, Mr. Shen Fei would not betray." Mashu said firmly. How could Shen Fei, who came from another world, betray this world?

"Mr. Kadok, you should have an idea of ​​what the people of Chaldea said." At this time, Li Xiang suddenly spoke.

"Senior?" Mashu looked at Li Xiang with surprise.

"Rather than saying that I have an idea, it is better to say that I have a question. If Mashu searches the database in detail, he should be able to find a clear answer to this question. Then my doubt is a joke, but if he doesn't find it, it is a reasonable question." Kadok said slowly.

"To be on the safe side, the database search system has been activated. Mr. Kadok, what is your question?" Mashu's expression became serious.

"It's about the servants. First of all, it's Da Vinci. She was summoned by Chaldea and has been serving Chaldea. That is to say, the master of the summons is Chaldea, and she has been Chaldea's assistant since before the burning of human principles.

Captain Nemo was summoned by Sion Eltnam. There should be relevant remarks in the records. Although it is mixed with gods and phantoms, Captain Nemo's summoning is also regular.

Mashu Kyrielight, the servant of Fujimaru Ritsuka's contract, is naturally no problem. Then what about Holmes? When, where, and by whom was that guy summoned?" Kadok finally said the question in his mind.

"Mr. Holmes, how is it possible?" Kadok's question made Mashu and Ritsuka silent at the same time. Mashu's analysis before ruled out Holmes, but now Mashu has no way to answer Kadok's question, because through the search system of Chaldea, it is found that there is no accurate answer.

"Servants need Masters not only to provide magic power, but also to anchor Servants in the real world through contracts. This is why Masters who cannot intervene in the battles between Servants are needed. Compared with this, using magic to provide related support is not that important. So who was Holmes's Master?" Kadoc continued.

"But there will be many lonely Servants." Ritsuka immediately retorted.

"That's right. According to the recorded data, in the previous singularities, there were also servants who did not belong to Chaldea or the enemy camp. However, those were servants summoned by the land using the power of the Holy Grail that created the singularity to try to repair the singularity. In other words, the land is the object of possession, so it can move freely without servants.

Of course, there are also servants who are not summoned by the Holy Grail, such as Beowulf in the Russian Lostbelt. So which kind is Holmes?" Kadoc continued to ask.

"It should be the same as Beowulf, because when I first met him, it was in Atlas Court, um." Mashu immediately started talking about Holmes' situation, but halfway through, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Holmes should have appeared in the Magic Association in London in the fourth singularity. This is what he said himself." Ritsuka immediately said.

"Yes, sorry, it seems that I am a little nervous. He did say that he was the one who left the message in London." Mashu said with a depressed look. As Kadoc asked, she realized Holmes's suspicion, but she wanted to help him out because she trusted him.

"Considering the fate of the land, it is not strange if he was summoned in London, but he later appeared in the sixth singularity and the subspecies singularity in Shinjuku. What is the reason?" Kadoc asked Mashu.

"Well, Mr. Holmes said that he forcibly extended the time of the present world and carried out forced soul transfer." Mashu immediately answered. These are all data recorded in the Chaldea system.

"Like Miyamoto Musashi?" Kadoc asked again.

"Xion really trusts him. He even knows this. Is it because she knows something? And he can suspect Holmes in such a short time. He is indeed a member of Group A."

Cadok's performance surprised Shen Fei. He suspected Holmes because they had experienced a lot of things together along the way, so he felt suspicious. But Cadock suspected Holmes based on the recorded information. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Didn't you see that Mashu had already ruled out Holmes?

"No, it's different. Mr. Holmes can't transfer repeatedly like Miss Musashi. Mr. Holmes said that the transfer of spirit particles was carried out at the cost of weakening the spirit base. It can only be carried out twice at most. After two spirit particle transfers, he fell into an extremely weak state. After Shinjuku, after concluding a formal servant contract with the predecessor, the weakening of the spirit base was lifted, but it can no longer be transferred alone." Mashu said the information recorded in the system.

"It makes sense, but I always feel something is strange. No, I can't figure it out." Kadoc said, closing his eyes and began to ponder.

"It makes sense, but it is not so easy to transfer spirit particles without relying on the Chaldean system, but only relying on the servant's own power. He is just a detective, not a magic genius at the level of the God Realm."

Shen Fei felt it was incredible at first that Holmes could transfer spirit particles by himself, but he didn't think too much at the time. He just thought Holmes was very powerful, but with the experience all the way until he reached the Atlantic Lostbelt, he immediately found something wrong.
